Victoria Beckham and Robbie Williams had high mercury levels in their blood! What are the signs and reasons of mercury poisoning?

-

 British singer Victoria Beckham learned the hard way that eating too much fish daily was not good for her body and brain. Last year, Victoria was found to have high levels of mercury in her body and hence was advised to cut down on her fish consumption. Reports state that fish have mercury in them and consumption of too much fish in the daily food could lead to mercury poisoning in the eater. The case was seen in Victoria and she has since reduced fish in her food, a source revealed.

Victoria Beckham and her mercury poisoning

The wife of the legendary football player from the UK, David Beckham, singer Victoria Beckham used to consume a lot of fish in her daily meals. The Spice Girl member loved having fish and also was on a vegetarian diet. But last year, doctors found high levels of mercury in her body and have advised reducing fish in her food.

Last year, Victoria was at the posh Lanserhof health spa in Germany. At that time, tests done on her revealed high levels of the toxic metal mercury in her body. Since the source of this mercury is most likely from fish, she has to stop eating excessively of it. A source told The Sun UK:

“Victoria had off the scale levels of mercury,”

The insider added:

“So doctors gave her a liver flush to help rid the body of toxins.”

But the source said that the former Spice Girl is still having a lot of fish but she has stopped the intake of tuna and swordfish. These two types of fish presumably have high levels of methylmercury in them. The source said:

“She feels brilliant and is as lean and fit as ever,”

Robbie Williams, the rocker also told Radio X Network that he also had toxic levels of mercury in his body following his pescatarian diet. He said:

“I was eating fish twice a day and I’ve got the highest mercury poisoning the doctor has ever seen,”

What is mercury poisoning?

Mercury in high levels is toxic for the body cells. It can kill them and hence is dangerous for the body. It can cause irritability, depression, memory loss, and also numbness. In some, when the levels reach toxic levels it can cause tremors, blindness, kidney failure and is even fatal. Hence it should be avoided and if found to be high in the body, appropriate treatment should be sought.

Color therapy-the ancient art of healing! Know the science behind it and its current status!

  Color as a form of therapy is not a new concept. In it, electromagnetic waves in the form of the visible spectrum (that we interpret as colors) are used to cure various body illnesses. It is an ancient mode of therapy that is being reinvented. There are attempts to elucidate its scientific basis and explanation. This would help to explore and discover newer dimensions of this old remedy. Color therapy (Chromotherapy) Newton talked about solid matter and moving objects while Einstein found out that mass and energy are dual expressions of the same universal substance. It is the vibration rate of its molecules that determines its form. When slow, it is physical matter and when the vibrations are intense it is energy. Thus, light is an energy and when it interacts with matter, color is formed. Each color has its own wavelength, frequency, and energy level. And human eye is adapted to see only this energy that has a wavelength between 380-780 nm. This is therefore, the visible spe...
